Colours of Dance is a Recognised School under Council for Dance, Drama & Musical Theatre's scheme. Recognised Awards' holders promote the appropriate requirements for teachers and support students' progression in dance, drama and musical theatre education through participation in the scheme and thus demonstrate to students, parents and guardians that they adhere to the standards demanded by the industry; standards designed to protect and safeguard young people whether dancing for leisure or with an eye to a career in the profession. Miss Imogen is also a CDMT Recognised Teacher, having been awarded this certificate annually since 2012 in response to her committment to on-going training and professional good practice.
